Hello and happy Friday!
The end of the school year splits life into two categories: Bittersweet endings and new beginnings—and not just for kids, but for parents too. That fact is especially poignant this year for our little family. Our Smudge is graduating. Goodbye high school, hello world. I’m so excited for her and the dreams ahead of her. But am I really going to be able to do this? To get through my baby leaving me? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, light and easy healthful dinners are what our family is craving now. I’ve been making this Mediterranean salad and because it holds in the fridge so well, I eat it all week long. Yes, as a byproduct I’m feeling exceptionally virtuous. Try it as a stuffing for avocados too.
High art in public places is one of my favorite ways to view it, and this artist’s mosaics created for the Times Square subway station are absolutely incredible. Makes me want to go to NYC just to see them.
